Site maintenance is never easy.
For no reason, the site server has been infected by the backdoor program W32.Esbot.C two days ago. Though it is best to clean the virus by rebooting the server into the safe mode (yes, I'm always regret for not running a Linux server), I have grave difficulty to follow the lead. I can only remotely control the machine, trying my best to kick out the Trojan horse which has seriously destabilizes the server performance for some time.
Again, for no reason, the virus suddenly disappears after several not so successful attempts at dispelling it. My limited knowledge of the server structure and equally limited experience in safekeeping the server cause this inexplicable phenomenon.
For now, I'm still uncertain of the server's status: whether the disappearance is temporal or permanent, or whether the site server will run cleanly and smoothly from this time on.
The very lesson I've learnt from this is simple: were I to be given a second chance, I will never run a portal-like site for many, but a personal site for me only.
